Editing Vulgar Latin (section)

=== Word order typology ===
Classical Latin in most cases adopted an [[Subject–object–verb|SOV]] word order in ordinary prose, although other word orders were employed, such as in poetry, euphony, focus, or emphasis, enabled by [[inflection]]al marking of the grammatical function of words. However, word order in most of the modern Romance languages generally adopted a standard SVO word order. Relics of SOV word order still survive in the placement of [[clitic]] object pronouns (e.g. Spanish {{lang|es|yo te amo}} 'I love you').
